# Tru7 Group has invested in a fleet of 20 new JCB 140X tracked excavators

    Louise Carney  ·   1 minute read

Tru7 Group has invested in a fleet of 20 new JCB 140X tracked excavators – much to the delight of the company’s operators.

The major Ipswich-based construction group has bought the JCB X Series models to operate on general construction and housebuilding sites as well as working on high-profile energy contracts across the UK.

Supplied by dealer Watling JCB, they join existing JCB Loadall telescopic handlers and backhoe loaders in the Tru7 Group fleet.

Tru7 Group CEO and owner, Guy Nicholls said: “Our family has a long history of buying JCB machinery, especially its telescopic handlers. One of our previous businesses operated by far the largest fleet in Europe at the time.

“We kept hearing how good the JCB 140X model was and felt it was time we tried some. So we ordered 20 models to test out within our operations. The machines have proved to be very good, and the drivers love them. The modern styling, excellent driver environment, and tough build quality make them ideal for our work.

“For many years we have been fortunate to have Watling JCB as our dealer. It is without doubt an outstanding company from the top down - and the team really are a pleasure to deal with.”

A Suffolk-based family-run business, Tru7 Group has a rich history spanning over 60 years. Under the leadership of Guy Nicholls and now his son, Jake Nicholls, the company has continued to expand its services and capabilities. It now operates van, truck and plant sales and rental businesses alongside its demolition and remediation, earthworks, asbestos removal, concrete and aggregates divisions.

Across this range of services, Tru7 Group has built a high profile client list including: Suffolk Highways, HS2, Morgan Sindall, Balfour Beatty, RG Carter, Barnes Construction and Suffolk County Council.![JCB.
